Extra holes on target - section 9.1.4 clarification

Had an interesting scenario today: 

  • Shooter shoots 9mm
  • Shooter fired 3 rounds at a target that is scored as best of 2 hits (the extra shot to make up a mike that was called during the stage run)
  • While scoring, RO saw that target has 4 holes, all 9mm and all As
  • Shooter asked for a reshoot

 

According to section 9.1.4 in the rule book:

 

Should the RO allow a reshoot in the scenario above?  Following the language in the rule, if "it is not obvious to the RO which 2 or 3 holes out of the 4 alphas were shot by the competitor", a reshoot should be permitted, correct?    The counter argument is that the RO can score accurately in this case, e.g. 2 alphas, thus no reshoot is permitted - which I agree sounds like common sense, but not exactly what the rule says.  


In a big match, the RO should force a reshoot.

 

The Ro just discovered there were untaped holes on targets.  Who knows what other holes were not the competitor’s?

 

Reshoot.

Rule 9.1.4 is pretty specific - if the score cannot be determined, it's a reshoot. The rules says: "... the Range Officer must judge whether or not an accurate score can be determined." Just having untaped holes by itself is not a grounds for reshoot.
